One of the non-invasive methods for treating discoloration of hard tooth tissues is teeth whitening. The aim of this work is to assess the dynamics of changes in the acid resistance of enamel and hard tissues of teeth and the rate of its remineralization after the procedure of office teeth whitening. The study involved 123 patients aged 18 to 35 years with discoloration of various origins, with the color of hard tooth tissues on the Vita Classic A2 scale and darker. Before performing the office, teeth whitening procedure, all patients gave their written voluntary informed consent to participate in this study, as well as consent to the processing of personal data. Depending on the chosen method of office teeth whitening, patients were divided into 3 groups. The resistance of hard tooth tissues was judged based on the determination of TOER and CASRE tests. These indicators were determined at various times (5 days before the office teeth whitening procedure, 5 days after it, after 14, 30 days and 6 months). Regardless of the chosen whitening system, the office teeth whitening procedure is accompanied by a decrease in the enamel's resistance to acids and a decrease in the rate of its remineralization. The remineralizing function of oral fluid promotes the positive dynamics of the studied parameters after 14 days and after 30 days values increased due to the appointment of remineralizing therapy to all patients in 2 weeks after the teeth whitening procedure. After 6 months, all patients had high enamel resistance and the rate of its remineralization.

Bacterial infections of root canals and the surrounding dental hard tissue are still a challenge due to biofilm formation as well as the complex root canal anatomy. However, current methods for analyzing biofilm formation, bacterial colonization of root canals and dental hard tissue [e.g., scanning electron microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) or determination of colony forming units (CFU)] are time-consuming and only offer a selective qualitative or semi-quantitative analysis. The aim of the present study is the establishment of optimized molecular biological methods for DNA-isolation and quantification of bacterial colonization via quantitative PCR (qPCR) from dental hard tissue. Root canals of human premolars were colonized with Enterococcus faecalis. For isolation of DNA, teeth were then grinded with a cryo mill. Since the hard tissues dentin and especially enamel belong to the hardest materials in the human organism, the isolation of bacterial DNA from root dentin is very challenging. Therefore, treatment steps for the isolation of DNA from grinded teeth were systematically analyzed to allow improved recovery of bacterial DNA from dental hard tissues. Starting with the disintegration of the peptidoglycan-layer of bacterial cells, different lysozyme solutions were tested for efficacy. Furthermore, incubation times and concentrations of chelating agents such as EDTA were optimized. These solutions are crucial for the disintegration of teeth and hence improve the accessibility of bacterial DNA. The final step was the determination of prior bacterial colonization of each root canal as determined by qPCR and comparing the results to alternative methods such as CFU. As a result of this study, optimized procedures for bacterial DNA-isolation from teeth were established, which result in an increased recovery rate of bacterial DNA. This method allows a non-selective and straightforward procedure to quantify bacterial colonization from dental hard tissue. It can be easily adapted for other study types such as microbiome studies and for comparable tissues like bones.

Thing. In recent years, the importance of sports in improving the health of the population by involving people in physical education has increased. However, sports of the highest achievements are associated with the risk of occupational diseases. Physical and emotional stress of athletes can lead to impaired health. Dental diseases are also common in people involved in sports. In domestic and foreign literature, athletes describe bruxism, occlusal disorders, periodontal disease, tooth abrasion. Of particular interest are injuries of hard tissues of the teeth of athletes in connection with their highest prevalence, ineffectiveness of treatment and prevention. The goal is on the basis of a clinical and laboratory study of the state of hard tooth tissues in athletes, to develop and justify the tactics of complex treatment, prevention of diseases of hard tooth tissues. Methodology. All participants underwent a comprehensive dental examination, which included the main research methods (determination of complaints, medical history, external examination, examination of the oral cavity, detection of diseases of hard tissues of the teeth, malocclusion) and additional (X-ray examination, “hamburg testing”, diagnosis of T-scan, assessment of oral fluid indices, cytological examination of buccal epithelium, electrometry of hard tissues of teeth, assessment of resistance of hard tissues of teeth). Results. Based on the results, we developed a new treatment-and-prophylactic toothpaste based on Silivatit organosilicon glycerogel hydrogel with the addition of nanostructured hydroxyapatite. Its biocompatibility, remineralizing and anti-inflammatory activity are proved, and clinical efficacy in athletes with diseases of hard tissues of the teeth is confirmed. The tactics of the complex treatment and prevention of diseases of hard tooth tissues in athletes based on the differentiated choice of filling materials have been substantiated. Conclusions. Thus, the optimized tactics of complex treatment and prevention of diseases of hard tissues of the teeth prevents the progression of diseases, the development of complications, and improves the quality of life of athletes.
